Cooper Robertson and Associates, the land planners of WaterColor and Water Sound in the Florida Panhandle prepared the conceptual land plan for the Resort District.

The Resort District will be subject to the City of Corpus Christi’s zoning ordinance and unified development code prior to construction. In addition, any changes in the development plan will require Corps of Engineer permit modifications procedures. Accordingly there will be substantial public input prior to construction of the district.

The Resort District plan contains the traditional bulk headed canal lots, canal lots with natural shore line and areas with fresh water ponds. In addition to the canal system the district will include pedestrian pathways, cart paths and open areas.

The Resort District borders Commodores Drive, Aquarius Street and portions of the Laguna Madre. A portion of the Resort District fronts on a protected habitat and will be designed to add separation between the protected habitat and the developed property.
